Good experience at a leading web media company
Good experience at a leading web media company
Lots of good engineers.
Solving scaling problems only a handful of companies deal with.
Good work environment.
Good benefits.
Continual, regular reorgs.
Useless leadership and a board that never inspired.
Failure to provide momentum in products.
Long product cycles and lots of failed or late projects.
Focus on the core products and remove the vast product management organization and layers of do-nothing people. Ditch search entirely.
